4. on wrong side, I cut a small slit ( careful not to cut the desired fabric
5. clip edges
6. birth circle thru slit
7. press right side of fabric
8. applique or whip stitch to desired area

Nice round edges....

I made an entire quilt using this method
Instead of using fabric on the back, I use very lightweight small mesh (bridal) tulle. Nowhere near as bulky at the seams and doesn't fray.
